whitening strips left white spots on my teeth? will these go away or stay there?

i used a whitening strip today, and when i took it off i noticed some white spots on the bottom of my teeth. will these go away?
--------------------
Most likely these are areas of decalcification. Sometimes they are more apparent after whitening or if the teeth are dried off. They don't cause any problems but they will not go away by themselves. They would have to be ground out and replaced with bonded composite fillings. This is not usually done.
